Connecting the Printer to Your Computer

If the self test prints correctly, you are ready to connect your

printer to the computer. Use a shielded twisted-pair parallel cable to

connect your computer to the printer’s built-in parallel interface.

Connect the parallel interface cable as described below:

1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off; then

plug the cable connector securely into the printer’s parallel

interface connector. Squeeze the wire clips together until they

lock in place on either side of the connector.

Note: If your cable has a ground wire, connect it to the ground

connector beside the interface connector.

2. Plug the other end of the cable into the computer. (If there is a

ground wire at the computer end of the cable, attach it to the

ground connector at the back of the computer.)
